India 1957 Travel Advertising Poster

Very striking and beautiful original 1957 travel advertising poster for India, presenting the country as The Wonderful Land. The design uses a highly decorative, almost architectural composition, with stylised monuments, strong blocks of colour and a bold black background that gives the image real clarity and impact. It is a sophisticated mid-century travel poster with a wonderfully exotic sense of place. Really stunning.

Travel posters of the 1950s often sold destinations through atmosphere, colour and simplified landmark imagery. This India poster does exactly that, presenting a dreamlike collection of domes, towers and historic buildings in a palette of turquoise, yellow, orange and pink. The result is both graphic and romantic, evoking tourism, discovery and long-distance travel in the post-war era.

This vintage travel advertising poster was originally rolled and has now been professionally linen-backed. It is sized 24 5/8 x 38 3/4 inches (plus a little more with the linen) and will be sent rolled (unframed).
